The destination of this free medical examination and medication distribution trip was once a resistance base of the Vietnamese volunteer army during the war to protect the southwestern border. Currently, the lives of the local people mainly depend on agriculture, and they still face many difficulties due to limited economic resources, remoteness from the center, and lack of access to medical services.

Local residents received support after visiting the clinic and receiving free medication.

From the moment the medical team arrived, a large number of local people had gathered early with joyful spirits, as this was a rare opportunity to receive free medical examinations and medication. Mr. Mun Men, a resident of Kom Penh commune, Ki Ri Vong district, Takeo province, emotionally shared: "For many years I have suffered from illness but lacked the means to receive treatment. Now, thanks to the care and free medical examinations from Vietnamese doctors and nurses, I am extremely grateful and hope to recover soon so I can continue working and stabilize my life."

Doctors from An Giang province (Vietnam) are diligently providing health check-ups for Cambodian people.

Prior to the mission, the team received a thorough briefing on their specific tasks, made full preparations with necessary medicines and medical equipment, and demonstrated the highest level of responsibility in serving the people of the host country. Despite the long journey and harsh weather conditions, the doctors and nurses quickly got to work with dedication. From measuring blood pressure and performing ultrasounds to conducting general examinations and dispensing medication, everything was done meticulously.

For those who don't understand Vietnamese, the interpreters and officers of Team K93 always provide enthusiastic support to ensure that medical examinations proceed smoothly. Ms. Thach Thi Xoan, Head Nurse of the General Emergency Department at Kien Giang General Hospital, said: "This is the third time I've participated in this meaningful activity. Despite the long distance and hot weather, seeing the people happy, trusting, and grateful to the team makes all the hardships disappear."

Most importantly, throughout their mission in the host country, the delegation consistently received active support from the local government, armed forces, and people. Representatives of the government and military forces of Takeo province expressed their gratitude for the kindness and goodwill of the Vietnamese delegation, and highly appreciated the solidarity and close relationship between the armed forces of the two sides over the past period.

Colonel Cao Minh Tam, Deputy Political Commissar of the An Giang Provincial Military Command, emphasized: "The medical examination, provision of medicine, and gift-giving to the people of Takeo province not only contributes to caring for the lives of the people of our neighboring country but also strengthens the solidarity and friendship between Vietnam and Cambodia, while supporting Team K93 in the work of searching for and collecting the remains of Vietnamese volunteer soldiers and experts who sacrificed their lives in Cambodia."

Colonel Cao Minh Tam, Deputy Political Commissar of the An Giang Provincial Military Command, presented heartfelt gifts to the people in the Cambodian border region.

On this occasion, a team of doctors and medical staff from the An Giang Provincial Military Command, in coordination with Kien Giang General Hospital, provided free medical examinations and distributed over 400 free medicine packages to local officials and people, each worth 100,000 VND. They also presented 60 gifts to impoverished households, each worth 500,000 VND. Each medicine package, delivered directly to the recipients, and each heartfelt greeting from the soldiers in green uniforms in Cambodia, further enhanced the image of the Vietnamese People in the hearts of the Cambodian people. This is not only a deeply meaningful humanitarian activity but also a bridge to strengthen the traditional friendship and solidarity between Vietnam and Cambodia.
